I have faith in?

If a tree falls in the woods and lands on a politician.......
I'm taking an estimation an awful lot of people here have lost belief in politicians and Irish politics, but what do we have faith in? This won't be a very scientific poll, but who do we believe is doing a good job and actually contributes something to Irish life rather than just looking after their own self-interests? Do any of our institutions? or am I being overly pessimistic by even asking? I've included the private sector here, not that it's expected to be socially motivated but is it functioning well? I'm trying for a state of the nation that isn't just the economy or politicians.

I have faith in Johnny Giles. Honesty of effort counts more than anything else for me.

If a fat person falls in the woods and there's no one around to see it, do the trees laugh?

I've a feeling none of the above is going to win in a landslide.

There's no GOD option, the church are **** and I hate organised religion but there needs to be a GOD option

I know that a lot of people believe in God but im looking particularly for social institutions here. I could have also included me, my friends and family, the goodness of humanity etc.

As the great philosopher/social thinker Tony Montana said, "I trust me."

Brilliant documentary made about him a few years ago.

the ability of Irish goverments to continuously fcuk up and the ability of the Irish people to complain about it.

Could the church option not be religion? I have faith in my religion which is not the RCC.

sheesh · 13-06-2012 10:31PM

gravity.

boo3000 · 13-06-2012 10:41PM

It's the church as social institution not in terms of personal belief, you could say i put in the gardai, why not the fire brigade? Im going for what would be generally accepted as a major social force. Why the RC church is accepted as, or is, a major social force in irish life above others is probably beyond this thread, sorry!

I have faith in me never being able to complete those Animal Bar puzzles.

Bastards the lot of them!

Apparently, if a tree falls in the woods and there's noone around to hear it, it makes no sound, just moves some air a bit as sound is the function of air movements pressing on an eardrum - without the eardrum there is no sound. Faith? err, not sure. Faith that they will do what exactly?

But... ya gotta have faith

boo3000 · 13-06-2012 10:52PM

Pottler, what about a dog's eardrum, that part of it could go on forever! For your other question I just mean do we trust them, are they doing good, or trying to, or just me feiners?

I have pretty good faith in our education system.

We have one of the highest rates of literacy in the world at 99% and college enrollments are up year on year.

It's not all perfect, but I believe Irish children (and adults) are able to avail of a great education in this country.
